Webster: Stamping Tubes and Balloon Bassoons

We calculated the ratios for the first 9 intervals of the harmonic series, went to the woodshop and cut tubes to those lengths. The students at Webster also made an extra set for their counterparts at Burroughs so everyone now has his/her own stamping tube or balloon bassoon. Next we will decorate and personalize them.

Here's the developing story of Philip Blackburn's sound projects developed for the Flint Hills Children's Festival at the Ordway Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota. Last year was a Sonic Playground; this year it's the Singing Garden. Here too are extra residency projects that involve making, playing, composing and performing with homemade instruments.
